Reading is the seed to life. The ability to read, also, enriches ones ability to write and speak. I love reading. Any and everything. Reading is never something I "
HAVE TO DO"; to me it is more like an activity. Give me a nice cold glass of Arbor Mist and a good book and I'll be out your hair for hours at a time. It is important that as women, colored women at that, that we find a nack and habit for reading. I once overheard someone say "If you ever wanted to keep something from a Nigger; put it in a book". That sentence alone makes my heart cringe. but it also reiterate my first sentence. and makes a bigger point. that not only is reading the seed to life, but is the secret to life as well. To get many of my sisters on the joyous path of reading . Sugar Water Staff decided to start up a Book Club.
Oh yes, Oh yes. This book club is for the readers of our blog and our staff to come together via net. And express our thoughts, opinions, and feelings based on the text that was suggested to read. The books we have for the upcoming months are very diverse in it's authors and genre. However, this book club is not based solely on books. Essays, Plays, and Articles will also be suggested and scrutinized under a critical lens (ehh, soooo maybe this is not a book club after all).
Whoop! Whoop! I'm excited! (Sorry for the outburst!!)
Moving forward, each Q and A session will start a week after the book Title and Author is posted to give everyone a good amount of time to acquire the material. According to Goodreads.com the first novel we will read is "The story of a young girl whose mother cannot distinguish love from possession."
